Gaelic Football

[Keano!]

Ireland's most popular sport and raises the spirits of your heart when you
see grown men battling it out in the rain on a Friday night!

Obviously, I'm going for Dublin althogh they've fallen short for the last two
years in the semi-finals.

They're joint top of their league currnetly and the Championship is set to
get under way in a matter of weeks.

So am, I the only, G.A.A. fan here??

[Toybos]

Funny enough mate, there are rules!

And, they are probably the most confusing rules any sport has!

Easy if you play it or watch it, but it's completly new to people who have never
seen it!

[Keano4taoiseach]

Note: Dublin have the largest following and the most ****y fans/players but they're useless :p

My county, Mayo, are far better and have a better history.

Kerry are the greatest team ever and dominate the sport at present.

[Keano!]

ffs.......Dubs were bashed in Armagh today!

Armagh 3-13 Dublin 1-10

[Red Devil]

Moike yer mind up seamus - was it 3-1 or 13-10!! ;)

Damn Dubs, why do they have to make things hard for themselves.
At least United won, which is the main thing.

Nothing like going to a packed Croker on a Sunday evening to roar the Dubs home!

Sam's coming to the capital this year! ;)

Believe me........you play it and its 10 times tougher then football! ;)

I've never seen a player go down after being pushed.......if they are pushed, they normally push/punch back......;)

COME ON DA DUBS!!!!!!

[jamsieboy86]

Goin to Croker on Sunday to watch Kildare do away with Wicklow, come on the Lillywhites!

[Keano!]

What super news!!!!!!!


The good 'aul Sunday Game (Gaelic version of MOTD guys) has reinstated its trademark theme tune that we all know and love!

No more of that rubbish they had for three years!

For those of you who don't know what I mean, imagine MOTD changed its theme tune to something awful! Get me?

Heres the tune back on the screens, with some slight modifacations to its beat...

[marty davidson]

yea Armagh 0-17 cavan 0-13 bring on down in the next round :D :D :D :D

[Red Devil]

Must have been boring - no goals!!

[Keano!]

:rolleyes:.........doesn't have to have goals!


I went to the Dublin and Wexford hurling game on Saturday......brilliant game and it ended in a draw!

[marty davidson]

does matter they still won and play our biggest rivals next Armagh for the all ireland:D

[Keano!]

Dublin Vs. Westmeath this Sunday In Croker!

can't wait for it....The atmosphere is simply breathtaking on the Hill when the Dubs
are playing.

Its the Leinster semi-final so the winners are set for a place in the Leinster final,
one fixture which I've made sure I don't miss every season!

Dublin have the strongest pedigree in the Leinster championship, with their
stiffest challenges coming from teams like Laois and Meath, and the games
against Meath are what Gaelic Football was made for!

Dublin always seem to fall short of the Sam Maguire in September but no doubt
they've got the players to do the business. Alan Brogan, Stephen Cluxton (Best
keeper out there), Bryan Cullan, Jason Sherlock to name a few....

This was a meeting between the sides last year where Dublin prevailed.Hsdjeg4VHpE&feature=related

and,

This was a mad match played between the two earlier this year.
NnOCndqPTMo


Really looking forward to Sunday and Westmeath though! :D

[eoininho]

Love seeing Dublin fail year on year.. ye've half a chance this year though!

More importantly Tipp for the hurling (though I'm from Naas my old pair are from Tipp love them!)

[sparkic]

I love Gaelic Football!!! But I do not watch or follow the club level but instead I follow the International Rules which Australia takes apart in. This year in August I think it will be Ireland v Australia in Melbourne and for sure will be at the stadium and cannot wait lol

Has anyone ever heard of AFL (Australian Rules Football?) I am going tonight to the Melbourne Cricket Ground to watch Friday Night football and just like Keano, for me Australia's most popular watched sport raises the spirits of ones heart when one watches grown men battle it out playing AFL on a Friday night lol

Here are some links to AFL:

[marty davidson]

Down 0-11 1-12 Armagh yes ulster final

[Keano!]

Dublin manage to scrape past West Meath at Croker!

Crowd never realluy got going an dthe Dubs forwards never really got going.

Jayo and Brogan the pick of the bunch.........

......all means a Leinster Final meeting with Wexford!


COME ON THE DUBS!!!!!!!!!

[den1966]

your not a jack are you worse than scousers cant buy a paper till your out and looking at ye today that will be soon

[Keano!]

Betting for the All Ireland Football Championship 2008 = http://www.manutdtalk.com/forums/other-sports/12593-2008-all-ireland-football-championship.html#post127815

[Keano!]

Dubs are in Leinster Final action on Sunday against Wexford. Should be a great game.

I'll be placed in the Hill where we'll aim to roar the team home followed by a pitch
invasion and see Pillars army lift the cup for the 4t consecutive year! :eek:

[Jazz 16]

Up the Dubs!!!!
CMON LADS......
could be our year for the All Ireland. I can smell it ;-)

[Keano!]

I've lost my ticket for Croker!....

...****.......**** the *****

[16-Keano-16]

Come on You Boys in Blue.


Hill 16 is Dublin only.


We are going to hammer Wexford.

[16-Keano-16]

Come on You Boys In Blue

[marty davidson]

Armagh won Ulster yessssssss

we are team to beat

[Keano!]

Armagh won Ulster yessssssss

we are team to beat

If Fermanagh had one decent forward you would have lost it at only half time.
What 10 or something wides from Fermanagh?

Dublin and Kerry are the only real challengers this year IMO.

[marty davidson]

so we still won

Dublin lmao

[16-Keano-16]

Do you know when the quarters are on. Heard it will be a double-header. That will be a disaster trying to get tickets

[Keano!]

Theres two games on Sunday and two on Sunday this week.

The qualifiers....round 3


Wexford V Down Croke Park
Mayo V Tyrone Croke Park

Fermanagh V Kildare Croke Park
Kerry V Monaghan Croke Park



Hope Monaghan stuff Kerry!....They deserved to beat them last year but the
experience probably told on them...

..but thinking with my head, I these teams making it to the quarters.

Down
Mayo
Fermanagh
Kerry

Armagh*
Dublin*...................................Provinci al winners
Cork*
Galway*


I'd love a Dublin Kerry final though TBH...I might have tickets this year too! :D

[marty davidson]

Armagh 4 sam

[16-Keano-16]

I dont think Kerry are playing well this year. Paul Galvin is a huge loss for Kerry

[marty davidson]

Kerry have match winners all over the field

[Keano!]

The O'Shea's aren't on top form though.

Their bench probably one of the weakest left. When you see Mike Frank Russel on
a bench, you know your in trouble depth wise.

Dublin have Bernard Brogan to come back too so that will be a huge boost for us.


Kerry have been outplayed in the middle of the field in all their game sso far which
is an unsual thing to say about a Kerry team. I don't think they'll take Sam south
this year.

Its going North of staying in Dublin IMO

[marty davidson]

Paul Glavin banned cut down to three months now

[Keano!]

Not too surprised by that TBH.


I have a theory that a Governing Body will review a situation and lay down a long
ban, knowing taht they offender will appeal and then they reduce the ban which
it was always going to be so they look good! lol


Just a theory of mine in the world of corruption we live in :rolleyes:



He'll still miss a crucial game on Sunday! I'm off to it too...:D

...Old Trafford on Saturday and Croker on Sunday....Ahh.........sweet! :D

[marty davidson]

All Ireland Quarter final draw

Saturday 9th August

Armagh v Wexford 2.00pm
Galway v Kerry 4.00pm

Sunday 10th August

Cork v Kildare 2.00pm

Saturday 16th August

Dublin v Tyrone 4.00pm

[Keano!]

You sure that the Dubs game is a single one?

Wasn't there uproar that Dublin wouldn't get enough tickts because there would
be a double header?


Ahh well......I have tickets one way or another, but at elast now I will have a
better chance of going to the Hill....



BTW......Hard luck to Monaghan today.........a bit more strenth and stamina and
they would have dispatched Kerry

[marty davidson]

i don't no i only copy and pasted of the rte website

[Dublin_Best_7]

Dublin match is the only game the day we play!

[Keano!]

In a way, I think its a disgrace this seasons championship.....

...think of this,

Monaghan were a team on an incredible roll and were oh so close to pipping
those culchie farmers...(LMAO...no offece to any Kerry lads here:p) and yet they
get knocked out whereas, Kildare go through in a game against a pathetic
Fermanagh team and in a game with no scoring at all for the first 25 minutes...



Luck of the draw I suppose....





How do you confuse a Kerryman?


Give him a spade and a shovel and tell him to take his pick! (The Irish will get me! :plol)

[Keano!]

Just heard that Armagh went out to Wexford! Fair play to Wexford, coming back from the thrashing Dublin handed out.

...and Kerry were run close by Galway.


Championship is set up like so now...


Kerry Vs. Cork/Kildare (What a game Kerry Cork will be, Kildare have no chance)
Wexford Vs. Dublin/Tyrone (Chance for Dublin to embarrass Wexford again in Croker!)


Kerry Vs. Dublin in the final IMO

[marty davidson]

i support Armagh and Wexford were the better team well done and good luck to them

[Keano!]

I was waiting for your post :p...

Armagh still for Sam?.......NOT! :p


lol, only messing mate. Put it like this, if Mattie hadn't got that goal, you's would
have gone through. Goals win games. McDonnell wasn't on his game IMO, which
was a bit of a blow to you's.

Don't worry, we'll thrash Wexford again for ya's! ;)

[marty davidson]

i hope any team apart from Kerry win it. I think Dublin are the only team left capable of beating them

[Keano!]

They're the most physical left too.

Shane Ryan is a monster this year and they've all been through heavy gym work.


Tyrone will be a doddle as will Wexford but TBH, we need tougher games to
prepare. Kerry have had some bloddy hard games and that will stand to them,
Monaghan, Galway and soon to be Cork.

But, I've got a strange feeling that Cork will do their Munster rivals. ;)


It will be an interesting year....hope to God Dublin win! :o

[VaVaVoom]

Question is am i the only Hurling fan here......
Kilkenny to beat cork today, cmon the cats:)

[Keano!]

MORE IRISH!!!!! :D:D:D

lol....wouldn't say that mate.

Don't actually play it....puck about with a few mates but don't play.

As a mate of mine once said,

"Why would you play a sport where its hairy grown men bashing the ***** out of
eachother with sticks?"...
lol....amazing sport TBH.............not going to Croker today though. Went to the
Dubs and Wexford in Nowlan park a while back....so nearly won, drew and lost
the replay.


Anyways, this is a Gealic Football thread! :p
